This is the name of the large rock that sits on top of Aldermans Hill overlooking Uppermill and Greenfield. Lots of easy walks up to Pots and pans but also some harder ones. It can be quite windy up there so depending on the time of year wrap up but the views are incredible.

Villages, Towns & City

What's not to love about Manchester? A mini London for sure, just booming with an industrial feel and some areas reminding you New York City. Great shopping, bars, restaurants, so much to do. This is literally a 20 minute train journey from Greenfield station which is just over 2 miles away from The View. You can get the 184 bus from Delph or it's a short taxi ride away.

A beautiful little village with a local pub 'The Swan' in the heart of it. This village featured in the Hollywood movie 'The Yanks' and every year they celebrate Yanks weekend in Saddleworth and this year it is on the 6th & 7th August. It's just like stepping back in time, from everyone dressing up, to the cars on parade and the party atmosphere, it's a fun weekend. Dobcross is also absolutely beautiful at Christmastime too when it's all lit up, one the prettiest villages for sure.

Delph has barely changed over the years and it's just full of character. It was famously featured in the film 'Brassed Off' in 1996 and it is where Whit Friday Band Contest takes place which is highly celebrated in Saddleworth, this year it is on Friday 19th June. You also have a lovely High Street and some fantastic walks close by. Delph Donkey is a great walk especially on a summers day from Delph along the canal to Uppermill and beyond.
